| User ReviewMartin TSad, but interesting. At first I didn't feel much sympathy for the anglo-Indian lady and her community, but by the end of the movie, I felt her sense of belonging in the country had been stripped from her. A very subtle and interesting movie. |
| User ReviewSaquib ZA touching tale of an old woman who lives alone in a shabby old apartment, after her husband gets killed in WWII. The movie portrays India after liberation from the British. Violet stoneham lives alone with her cat in the apartment, when she comes across one of her former students at school. The student's fiance a struggling writer, persuades his fiance to ask the teacher to let him work in her apartment. The teacher allows them and they all become associated. Stoneham being alone, loves the company and becomes attached to the young couple. But soon the couple gets married and the teacher is left alone to herself once again. |
| User ReviewJacky Lbleak stuff. this ain't my fave aparna sen but da worst experience still goes to the japanese wife. what really grated in 36 chowringhee was the horridly dubbed english voices for violet and her brother, eddie. plus the not-too-great dvd quality. need to watch some light-hearted stuff next. bad! |
